Feature Request - More Layout Options for Video Clients

I have received a request for more layout options for Video Clients. In particular, my most recent caller requested a whole screen view with active speaker swapping. They are on platform version 3.1.0, and would like for the meetings that are created in ClearSea to have the ability to choose from multiple layouts. The caller understood that they could create an 'On Demand' conference in Multipoint, and then create a user in ClearSea that pointed to the conference, but did not like that this would place the meeting in with the users, instead of in the meetings tab.

With this said, if possible, we would like for people to be able to change the selected layouts for meetings created in ClearSea.

Jacob, firstly go to UVC ClearSea -> Manage -> MCUs and for each UVC Multipoint you have in the MCU list, check the DTMF Layout Control under the MCU configurations page. Once this is done, the next time when users joins a auto-escalated multiparty call, users able to select the layout they desired by clicking on 4 or 6 on the DTMF keypad on the Video client. Pressing 4 means move backwards to previous layout, example, if you are now on Layout 5, it will move to Layout 4 and you press more, it move to Layout N-1. Pressing 6 means move forward to the next layout, example, if you are on Layout 5, it will move to Layout 6 and you press more, it move to Layout N+1.

This works for both ad-hoc auto-escalated call and also those virtual meeting room call in the Meetings directory. The users will be able to select up to 18 layouts as supported by UVC Multipoint. Naturally, they can select Layout 1 which has the whole screen view with active speaker swapping.
